Weekly Training Log: Week of February 15th, 2016 - Week #9: Emergency vet visit - First of the year, hopefully last

In Training:  I was in the pool for a little more this week.  It's still really tough to get in quality swim sessions right now, so I am just trying to get and keep a feel for the water.  My swim will ramp up as soon as work is done and racing starts to get going.


In Life: Took my son to swim lessons on Monday.  The kid is really good for a five year old and we plan to have him swimming on a team this summer.  On Saturday, my sister and a friend from Minnesota came into Boulder and we had a good dinner out on Pearl St.
When we got home from work on Friday evening, our dog Marley (a little minpin mix) had split his leg open.  650 dollars later he was good to go with stitches, meds, and a cone on his head.
Fun, fun week in all.  It's still so great to be able to spend time with my sister so often.  It's great to have her back in the great state of Colorado.

Bike: 192miles

Aiden came home with this for Marley (our dog).  He wrote it himself.  It says "will you be okay marley?"  This dog brings my son so much joy and happiness.  I guess he is worth the 600 dollar emergency vet bill every once and a while.
